Resilience in Times of Change: What’s GREAT About This? with Dominic Siow

Change is no longer the exception in our workplaces — it’s the norm. But how do you build resilience in times of change, strengthen leadership, and thrive when disruption feels overwhelming?

I recently sat down with Dominic Siow, international speaker, coach, and author of What’s GREAT About This? How to be Resilient and Thrive through Disruption and Change, for a powerful conversation about resilience, mindset, and navigating change with confidence.

Dominic’s Story: From Self-Doubt to Strength

Dominic’s bestselling book was born from lived experience. After losing 30% of his team in an organisational restructure, he spent two years wrestling with self-doubt, anxiety, and workplace stress.

Through emotional intelligence practices, neuroscience-based tools, and a shift in mindset, Dominic turned that period of struggle into a launching pad for growth. Today, he shares these resilience strategies with leaders and organisations around the world.

Key Takeaways from the Interview

Here are some of the leadership and resilience insights Dominic shared in our discussion:

  • Reframe Disruption: Instead of asking “Why is this happening to me?” ask “What’s GREAT about this?” This reframing opens the door to possibility and resourcefulness.

  • Neuroscience & Resilience: Understanding how the brain responds to stress can help leaders and individuals stay calm, focused, and constructive.

  • Practical Tools for Leaders: Daily reflections, structured action plans, and resilience practices transform theory into sustainable habits.

  • Leadership in Change: Effective leaders model calm confidence, build psychological safety, and help their teams find opportunity in uncertainty.

Why This Matters for Leaders and Teams

In today’s environment of constant disruption, resilient leadership is not optional — it’s essential. Organisations that invest in resilience and emotional intelligence are more innovative, adaptable, and better positioned for long-term success.

Dominic’s message is clear: resilience doesn’t mean denying difficulty. It means finding the strength, growth, and opportunities hidden within it.
